Mass‐spectrometric evaluation of HLA‐A*0201‐associated peptides identifies dominant naturally processed forms of CTL epitopes from MART‐1 and gp100
27 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
Melanoma-reactive human cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) mediate tumor regression in vivo through specific recognition of MHC-associated peptide epitopes, many of which are encoded by the melanocytic tissue differentiation proteins gp100/Pme117 and MART-1/Melan-A. Vaccines using these peptides may induce protective or therapeutic immunity against melanoma. Rational design of such approaches is aided by a clear...
